That's fair. While NES and Gameboy were my first gaming experiences growing up, PS1 (and later PS2) were the real workhorses of my childhood, so even to this day, my mind views all face buttons as the PlayStation "glyphs" or whatever they are called. When my brother and I discuss controls in games, we both default to "press square" instead of 'X' (or 'Y' if you're Nintendo).

Makes me glad that Nintendo decided to (mostly) go with the icons (the four dots with one colored in) in their games to indicate button presses. Much easier to keep track of everything when they just show you the position of the button rather than just "X" and you have to find out if that means the bottom button, the left button, or the top button.

This is generally pretty bad advice.

I mean I get where you're coming from, and I cannot speak to what it is like in the UK (I can only speak as a man in the US), but you should not lie to your doctor.

If you see a doctor, and they start treating you differently after finding out that you smoke weed, then you find another doctor.

It's wrong because A comes before B and X comes before Y and English speakers/readers read from left to right.

I have never owned an X-Box in my life.

Thank Christ they didn't end up with the same button layout... I'm sorry, but Y is at the top and A is at the bottom. I don't even care that I grew up with the NES and Gameboy. That backwards shit is just wrong.

Wouldn't "right to repair" regarding medicine just be universal healthcare?

Most people in right to repair states/countries still bring their iPhone to someone to fix (though they have the right to fix it themselves just as people I guess have the right to try to fix themselves rather than go to a doctor).

One difference is that retail outlets can profit from Apple products. Linux isn't a company that makes hardware.
